Fifth Season arrives with goblins, witche

Feb. 2012

Spring, summer, fall, winter and Fasch-ing - does that sound right? It certainlydoes if you reside in Germany.Fasching, considered the fth season in many

neighborhoods in Germany, hits full swing

on Feb. 16.Seven days of silliness, costumes, parades,food and drink precede the beginning of Lent.Historically known as the last chance to feastbefore the fast, it became a time of merrimentn the Middle Ages when Lent was observed

rather rmly.

During Lent it was strictly prohibited to con-sume meat, milk, butter, cheese and any otherypes of fat. At rst, feasting was restricted to

he day before Lent like Christmas Eve, the daywas called Fasting Eve, or Fastnacht.

Later, Lent was viewed as the long roaduntil Easter, and the week prior became anall or nothing festival. Villages and townsparticipated by butchering enough livestocko overfeed the community during a week of

excessive and disorderly festivities.As a logical consequence, many young

couples set their wedding date to ShroveTuesday, the last day before Lent, just in case.

As time went by, the time frame of festivi-ies expanded. Today, the 11th day of the 11th

month (Nov.) marks the beginning of the Nar-renzeit (fools time.)

Sometime during the 15th century, paradeparticipants started wearing wooden masksand costumes inspired by the Italian comedia

del arte. Devil faces, witches and demonsrepresented the evil of Fasching in those dayscalled civitas diaboli (state of the devil) by

the church.The beginning of the 19th century also

marked the end of the Fastnacht. Too manyundesirable events had given the tradition anegative image. Though in 1823, during theage of romanticism, the upper crust of Cologneresurrected and restructured the old custom andintroduced voting for the Fasching prince, andlater, princesses. These temporary Royals wereto rule the fools of Fasching.

The ruling of the city is given symbolicallyto the fools during the festivities via the run

on city hall, which is practiced in many citiesand villages.

Overall, Fasching is a huge party for every-

one - a chance to eat, drink, and dance anthink too much about serious matters.

For Fasching newcomers, heres a

On Feb. 16, make sure you leave your thome, or wear one you dont care for. DSchmuzigem Donnerstag (dirty Thursday)ter known around here as Altweiberfasit is the prerogative of any woman to cutie she can get a hold of. If you are one ovictims, dont fret, because she may paywith a kiss.
